Abstract

Ionic liquids (ILs) are a very interesting new class of fluid materials because of their unique characteristics, such as wide chemical, thermal, and electrochemical stability, high ion conduction, non-detectable vapor pressure, nonflammability, and good-to-excellent capability to dissolve inorganic, organic, and polymer compounds. ILs are proposed for a very wide variety of applications, including electrochemical devices. However, high purity ILs, particularly for high-energy electrochemical applications, are not widely available commercially. In addition, solvent restriction and environmental impact, as well as the possibility to fully recycle chemicals and reagents, represent the most stringent requirements for the future synthesis processes of ILs. This article reviews synthesis route improvements in terms of environment impact solvents, chemical recycling and cost, and process yield for obtaining high purity (below 50 ppm) ILs.
